Having lived with both M3 and Cayman S for 1 1/2 yrs.
M3+ engine, engine, engine, amazing sound and power. Good tech, comfortable.
M3- poor range due to lousy gas mileage + small fuel tank. Expense is not so much the issue as convenience, it sucks having to fill up more than once a week. More intervention from traction control.
Cayman S + handling, balance, overall feel. Great traction due to rear weight balance. Surprising size of boots, no problem with grocery runs.
Cayman S - somewhat underpowered, but more than adequate for most situations.
RS5 seems like more of an M3 competitor than a Cayman rival. Similar power, high-revving V8, etc.
Not much to compete with Cayman at it's price level. Mid-engine rules.
